they became Philistines and did smite the newcomers and did turn their beds upon them. As their leader for these nine months they did elect one whose face was as the moon and who was exceedingly short of stature. 1 hey grew and waxed mighty in their own minds and did become far wiser than the generals of the court. Behold a few did fall by the wayside in battles with a certain dragon by the name of Sofmaph, who was indeed a most terrible monster, tight and one months did again swiftly pass and after another brief respite they found themselves again at the court. But behold a change in them. No more did they deign to cast their glances upon the newcomers, nor did they notice the Philistines, but with their heads and eyes uplifted did reach them for a distant goal. As their leader they chose one whose head glowed as a living fire to light them on their way. It came to pass that the generals seemed to them not as their enemies and they grew to love them. Also they bethought themselves that they knew not so much as they had known whilst they were Philistines, and they eagerly grasped for the crumbs of knowledge before it was too late. For the last time these youths journeyed to the court. Now instead of being innocent as they were upon their first journey they were learned in all the arts of the world. To their minds had been imparted many valuable things and their eyes had feasted upon holy things. Forgotten by them were the dangers and dragons that had once hovered near them, and in their minds was no fear as to the future. Behold they found that they were looked up to by the new arrivals, and were worshipped as heroes. Yet their heads swelled not and in their own estimation they were as little children. 1 heir leader for this last stay was one whose tongue was as silver and whose cheeks were as rosy as a child’s. Under his leadership they did thrive greatly and were exceeding studious. Thirteen and one days before they were to leave the famous court, they fought their last great battle with a serpent, by name Ethico, who had harrassed them during the last seven and one months of their stay here, and they did overcome him in triumph. And on the fourth day of the sixth month, which is the month of June, they were called before the mighty lord Poteat and there before all the generals did receive recompense for all the trials they had endured. Fie said unto each of them. “Well done, thou good and faithful youth; thou hast been faithful to thy task, and hast conquered many terrible dragons. Behold I give to thee this diploma, which will tell to all the world thy great worth, and which will help to smooth thy path along the rocky roads of life. And so these youths did go into the world to seek their fortunes, but forever clung to them the memory of the court of Edwin.
